<br />002992 <br /> <br />2002: In light of continued expansion of federal claims to water, the Committee will continue to receive <br />updates on the latest federal agency activities in regards to the control or use of water and will make <br />recommendations to the Council as to appropriate actions if it concludes that recent developments in federal <br />policy warrant a response. State responses to federal agency actions will also be discussed in the <br />Committee so as to help assist states in finding ways to deal with federal claims. <br /> <br />The Committee will also organize a discussion with appropriate government officials on the issue of <br />expanding federal claims. This will take place at the March Council meetings in Washington D.C. <br /> <br />The Committee will update the 1999 report on federal non-Indian claims to water. <br /> <br />Estimated work days: March Council meetings - 5 <br />Report update - 12 <br /> <br />Time frame: Discussion with Federal officials - January - March <br />Report update - April - September <br /> <br />Subcommittee: Mike Brophy (Chair-AZ), Christopher Estes (AK), Susan Cottingham Mn, Harley Harris <br />(MT), Charles DuMars (NM), NOITDan Johnson (UT) <br /> <br />5. ABA WATER LAW CONFERENCE <br /> <br />Work to date: The Council has in the past played a significant role in the planning and production of the <br />American Bar Association's Water Law Conference, held annually in the San Diego, California area. In <br />recent years, Council participation in the planning of the conference has waned, and little input into the <br />topics and possible presenters has been sought by the conference's planners. In 2000, the Council <br />increased its participation in planning the seminar with the result that the discussions were more relevant <br />and helpful for member state attendees. <br /> <br />2002: The Committee, through its Legal Education Subcommittee, will seek to maintain an active <br />participation in the planning and production of this conference, which is widely attended by attorneys from <br />across the West. The Subcommittee will meet regularly at Council meetings or conduct conference calls <br />as necessary to discuss proposed conference agenda, offer recommendations and prepare for active <br />Committee involvement in the planning of the conference. <br /> <br />Estimated work days: 3 <br /> <br />Time frame: February <br /> <br />Subcommittee: Mike Brophy (AZ), Mike Pearce (AZ), Rod Walston (CA), NOITD Johnson (Un <br /> <br />4 <br />
